Mid-term polls will be held in Karnataka, says Deve Gowda, slams coalition partner Congress

Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Deve Gowda on Friday claimed that mid-term polls will be held in Karnataka.
"They [Congress] said they will support us for five years, but their behaviour hasn't been in line with this promise. Our people are smart. They are watching them [Congress]," Deve Gowda said.
The former Prime Minister's comments came amid simmering differences between the Janata Dal (Secular)-Congress coalition in Karnataka.
Speaking on the Congress's debacle in the Lok Sabha elections, former Prime Minister Deve Gowda said it seemed that the party has lost its strength.
"But there will be no danger from my side. I don't know how long this [Karnataka] government will last. It is in the hands of the Congress and not Kumarswamy," Deve Gowda said, and added that the JDS has accepeted all "arbitrary demands" of the Congress.
